<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">In 1995, based on U.S. Census data collected in 1994, the newly created U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) prepared and released the landmark report Falling
Through the Net: A Survey of the Have Nots in Rural and Urban America. As a result, the inequalities of online access began to be discussed as the Digital Divide was recognized as a key challenge in countries around the world.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Twenty-one years after that identification of the digital divide through social scientific research, the gaps persist and in many cases grow. According to the latest available data from the
International Telecommunication Union, in all but 21 out of 228 countries around the world, and even in the vast majority of developed countries, at least 20% of the population does not benefit from even minimal access to the Internet at home. Even within
the top 50 countries in Internet access, 18 countries, ranging from Bahrain to New Zealand to the United States, have 20-30% of their households offline and in 11 countries, including Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Russia, 30-38% of their populations have no Internet
access at home. And, that trend continues with even some developed and wealthy countries with Very High Human Development according to the United Nations having around half their households without Internet access (e.g., Greece with 44%, Saudi Arabia with
46%, and Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, with 51% offline).<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">While the digital divide has always impacted groups across a wide range of ages, now, given the number of years the digital divide has already persisted and its likely continuation into the
future, these experiences of inequality will affect individuals across their entire life course. More than two decades of research, policy, and practice have taught us that the digital divide is about gaps in access and connectivity; the skills and digital
literacy needed to interpret, understand, and navigate information presented online; effective use by individuals and communities; the impact of socio-economic factors on user behavior; the role of motivation, attitudes, and interests; differences in patterns
of usage; the ways in which people use the Internet to create content; and the resulting socio-economic and cultural effects. But, more than that, when fully assessed and understood, it is evident that the digital divide has now taken its place alongside other
long-standing, persistent issues of social equity and social justice.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">The interdisciplinary Partnership for Progress on the Digital Divide (PPDD) 2015 International Conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to strategize actions
and catalyze solutions to this pressing societal concern. PPDD 2015 provides an extended, in-depth opportunity to consider the current state and future possibilities for research, policy, and practice that informs issues related to the digital divide around
the world. Further, the Conference works to identify new areas of necessary, productive research focus to foster greater understanding and enlighten policy and practice going forward so that all global citizens can participate fully in the digital, networked
age. As a major outcome of PPDD 2015, we plan to produce an edited volume of the top papers as well as special issues of journals on specific themes within the digital divide area.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Hosted by the Arizona State University (ASU) School of Public Affairs, PPDD 2015 will be held at ASUs high-tech SkySong in the Scottsdale area of Phoenix, Arizona, USA with complimentary
transport to/from discounted hotel room blocks in pleasurable Old Town Scottsdale, a 5-10 minute drive from SkySong.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Involving scholars, policymakers and practitioners at all stages of their careers, sessions at PPDD 2015 will include reports of research from any discipline and any theoretical and methodological
approach that contributes to exploring the issues surrounding the digital divide as well as discussions of policy and practice work, experiences, ideas, challenges, and opportunities. In addition, there will be plenaries, including an opening plenary luncheon
on 21 October, and a keynote luncheon on 22 October.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">The final session of PPDD 2015 is a highly interactive, lively brainstorming and collaborative thinking dialogue among all presenters and other attendees to create partnerships and inspire
new ideas for digital divide research, policy, and practice. All participants in PPDD 2015 will have the opportunity to provide in advance position papers for this session that will be made available prior to the Conference and permanently archived via an
e-book on the PPDD website.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
